Rob Papen Raw (Download)

Bored of bland presets and the same old synth controls? Want to give your music the edge with new audio sculpting tools and features?

RAW is a brand new virtual synth plugin from legendary sound designer Rob Papen. It will work with all the major DAWs including Logic, Ableton, Cubase, and Fruity Loops.

The concept for RAW was formed at the Dancefair event in 2014, when Dutch producers DJ Promo and DJ Free-k approached Rob Papen with the idea of a synthesiser that focused more on å«distortedå« sounds with an easy to use layout.

Renowned for delivering fresh, cutting edge and musical plugins for producers, Rob Papen invited the DJs to his studio for a brainstorming session resulting in a list of å«must haveå« features and tools for a brand new synth.

Armed with this list and several more brainstorming sessions later, Rob Papen and his development team created a powerful new virtual synth RAW.

RAW has two oscillators each with an X/Y field, (as included in Blade and BLUE-II) to distort the waveform using Phase Distortion.

But thatå«s not all, you can also draw two of your own å«waveformså« and use them as LFO waveforms enabling the creation of unique å«wobbleå« movements that are perfect for for dubstep and other electronic music styles.

In addition, RAW has all the premium quality Rob Papen filters to shape your sound further, but in a refreshing twist, å«EQå«, ‘Waveshaperå«, å«Distortionå« and å«LoFiå« have also been added on a voice synthesis level.

Other FX such as Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Stereo delay and the amazing Rob Papen HQ Reverb can all be added to your sound and of course, the cool arpeggiator / sequencer, easy-page and preset bank manager have all been included as standard.

In true Rob Papen style, RAW comes with many inspiring presets including contributions from several well known DJs and Producers.
